Why is Yahoo encouraging people to dump jet fuel into the ocean where there are endangered species?

Question

I'm sure you've seen the video on the side of 'P&S' and 'singles and dating'. It's popped up in other categories too.

This is disturbing to me. Any comments from you?

Answer 1

Those people were joking about what they do. They really do not do it.

Answer 2

Totally stupid and sending a very annoying message.

Does it have something to do with the writer's guild being on strike?  Too bad people join the real world!

Answer 3

Nothing strange in that,

follow up who owns yahoo in the end and all will be revealed.

Why do you think that skeptics ,and  those who advocate exploiting Nature are replacing those who wish to preserve and Nurture the Environment and our Natural resources

Answer 4

i don't know of anyone who is encouraging it have you seen the price of jet fuel. this is done i think more on a emergency basis if a plane is in trouble in the event of a crash to prevent a major fire .Aviation fuel is very volatile and evaporates very quickly not like the crude oil spills you hear about on the news so i don't believe it is as dangerous  as you are making it out

Answer 5

I dont know, but they shouldnt do that. Bp the gas station has been dumping c**p in the ocean, and a lot of people have been boycotting bp, including my family.

Answer 6

its yahoo. they have never been socially or environmentally responsible

Answer 7

Whats even more disturbing is that Amy Pohler and Will Arnett sacrifice baby bunnies to the Yahoo gods in order to get the jet fuel in the first place!! Of course, they NEEEEVVVER talk about *that* in their little snotty commercial. And how many sheep had to be killed for their fur for their woolen cardigans and double breasted coats? When will the snot nosed flesh eater comedians ever care about the bunnies and sheep in the world? When? WHEN?!

Answer 8

Ummm... has it occurred to you that fuel dumped from 30,000 feet never hits the ocean because it evaporates long before it gets there???  Jet fuel is EXTREMELY volatile - that's why it works so well.  

Jet fuel is also EXPENSIVE; no pilot in his/her right mind dumps it if they have ANY other option.  It's strictly an emergency maneuver.  Jet fuel is dumped all the time over land; have YOU ever seen any hit the ground?

Answer 9

Why does Yahoo.com wanna do that? It isn;t nice to the enviorment dumping toxic wastes, garbarge,jet fuel, all kinds of fuel and sewages in to the waters like oceans and the whole world! It's never nice! They should care more about the enviorment and endangered species. And don't forget the whole world!

Answer 10

I think the ad should be pulled! It is very annoying,and insulting to peoples intelligence!

To me, it sounds like the ignorant claim by Al Gore haters,when they claim that Al flies around in his private jet ,dumping fuel over the ocean. ALL air lines dump fuel from time to time.It's a safety concern.   Pilots make the decision to avoid a large fire in case of a crash. From the height the plane is at,the fuel evaporates well before it gets to sea level.
